I'm just going to go by the X bios here. Byline TV is building a better media. India Willoughby is the world's first trans newsreader and Woman of the Year nominee in 2023. You all know J.K. Rowling.
Byline TV reports that Rowling could be arrested for the hate crime of misgendering Willoughby.

This could lead to Rowling’s arrest. pic.twitter.com/iJMDmDeMaO
It won't, but Britain is so far gone as far as free speech goes that it's not shocking to hear. They're making it a hate crime to have anti-immigrant memes on your phone. Memes.
Rowling has responded to this breaking news:
Some time ago, lawyers advised me that not only did I have a clearly winnable case against India Willoughby for defamation, but that India's obsessive targeting of me over the past few years may meet the legal threshold for harassment. 1/5 https://t.co/kMSMBWO7gm

I ignored this advice because I couldn't be bothered giving India the publicity he so clearly craves. Nevertheless, we must all do our bit to combat hate, so India will be glad to know I've taken note of his homophobia, racism, and humane stance on immigration. 2/5 pic.twitter.com/ULoYrRGfez

Nor have I forgotten India's shocking transphobia. It appears to have slipped what passes for India's mind that he's previously called a fellow trans woman a man on this very site. 3/5 pic.twitter.com/Prk1ikBwLq

Surprisingly for such an eminent legal authority, he appears to have forgotten that the Forstater ruling established that gender critical views can be protected in law as a philosophical belief. No law compels anyone to pretend to believe that India is a woman. 4/5

Aware as I am that it's an offence to lie to law enforcement, I'll simply have to explain to the police that, in my view, India is a classic example of the male narcissist who lives in a state of perpetual rage that he can't compel women to take him at his own valuation. 5/5

As a dysphoric XX who doesn't lie, this emperor's new clothes period of time has harmed us, created a quasi-religion out of us and a lot of 💰 for pharma.

We need support & help, not lies and larping. Mammal sex is set. Appear how you want, but don't lie about your sex, I say.
You're far from the only dysphoric person, including those who have transitioned, who've said exactly this to me. I'm sorry. This comes with love x

The trans community really made a mistake trying to make Rowling the poster girl for transphobia.
